last question i need help with :)
determine whether y varies directly with x. if so find the constant of variation k and write the equation
|dw:1474929315310:dw|
not really sure what to do for this question
Im on the app so i cant see it
let me see if i can write it out then
Alright
Am trying to determine the sequence of the y values first and see if there's any relationship between x and y
Or he can help you since he can see the question
I see that x is increasing by 3 everytime.
@jhonyy9
than you check x increasing by 1,6 to get y when x = 4 so 4*1,6 = 6,4 or for x= 10 so 10*1,6 = 16 and so all what mean this than ?
what? i dont get it
so this mean that y varies directly with x and the variation constant is 1,6 ok. ?
ok....
do you understand it now sure right ?
1,6 is this constant k
i dont think that is right
y=kx try it than
for example 16 = 1,6 *10
or 6,4 = 1,6*4
or 11,2 =1,6*7
you dont believe it again too ?
tricial please try it you - ty.
when y varies directly with x then y = kx where k is the constant of variation as x increases, y increases or as x decreases, y decreases here x increases, y increases for any 2 points y/x = k if you were to plot the point you would get a straight line with the slope = k @jhonyy9 showed above that k = 1.6 so your equation becomes y = 1.6 x example when x = 4 y = 6.4 : y = 1.6* 4
